PROs in the UAE clueless on new visa rules

PROs in the UAE clueless on new visa rules:



"The new system for visas and their respective fees starts today but service personnel dealing with this sector are in the dark about the changes.



Early this week, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs at the Ministry of Interior (MoI) announced that the new visa regime will amend and streamline the regulations on foreigners’ entry and residence, and will be implemented across the country. These include multiple entry visit permits, reactivation of student visas, permits for medical treatment, conferences and penalties for violators.



“We did not receive any update on this regard; we are waiting for the immigration (to) update their website tomorrow or next week.  We keep contacting them but because of the holidays… perhaps we’ll know more by Sunday or Monday,” said  Faisal Thariyeri, a PRO for Online Services in Dubai. Faizan Asad, manager of AB Typing Centre in Mussafah in the capital which processes residence and employment visas, said he is also not aware of the changes."
